8/2012 - Valerie's books are not available as mass market paperbacks or e-books. I've checked out her books at my local library. Please take the time to read this great series. I have written to the author to see if her series might become available as e-books. I'll post updated information as soon as I hear back from the author.
Valerie also wrote the Josie Pigeon Mystery Series which started in 1995. It features Josie Pigeon who owns an all-woman construction company, Island Contracting. Josie lives on an island in a resort community and becomes an amateur sleuth when she finds herself solving murders.
